How To Cook Eggs For Eggnog Recipe

How To Cook Eggs For Eggnog

From micuisine 15 years ago

This is a tutorial on how to cook eggs without hard cooking them in order to get a yummy eggnog. (Tempering the eggs.)

Heat milk and heavy cream in a large pot on the stove top. (You will be heating this until almost boiling.)
While heating the milk mixture, separate the egg yolks from the whites.
Put the yolks in one bowl and the whites in another bowl.
Beat the sugar into the yolks.
When the milk is almost boiling, stir *some* of the milk very slowly into the yolk/sugar mixture. This will heat up (cook) the eggs very slowly without hard cooking them.
Go ahead and put this mixture in your hot milk. (Now off of the burner.)
Beat the egg whites until very stiff.
Put some of the hot milk mixture very slowly into the egg whites and stir. When mixed throroughly, you can go ahead and add this mixture to the hot milk/egg yolk/sugar mixture.
Sprinkle some nutmeg on top.
